Topic of the speech
Latest developments of roll grades for increasing requirements on the cold rolling process
Speaker
Dr. Hartmut Bruns
PHD in Materials Science, Sales Engineer, more than 20 years experience in the roll business
Abstract
The development of rolled steel grades over last years is showing a constant increase of the tensile strength at the expense of ductility what of course more and more challenges the rolling process and consequently the rolls with respect to higher rolling loads, better wear resistance, homogeneity of the barrel surface, reduced hardness drop, suppressing of chrome plating and last but not least schedule free rolling. The lecture will introduce you to the portfolio of Steinhoff roll grades starting from standard qualities up to the latest stage of development, the powder metallurgical rolls.
